Summary

"LOOK FOR THE THING THAT DOESN'T DRIP WITH COMFORT There's so many times I try to find the fast or easy way to get things done. I'm sure you've been there too. We want to get things done as efficiently as possible. But honestly speaking, shortcuts are rarely the answer because if they were, they wouldn't be a shortcut. They'd just be the way. Many times we need to avoid taking shortcuts. We need to do the hard work because it'll save us time and money in the long run. For this episode of 5 Minute Friday I brought back the renowned Mike Rowe with this clip on the importance of hard work and how even the most successful people in the world take pride in their hardest working days. Learn the importance of not taking the easy way out, on Episode 606. In This Episode You Will Learn: What society tells us about achieving happiness (:56) The thing that the most interesting people do (1:52) What the most important people in our country wanted to tell Mike (2:32)
